Book excerpt: Media Diversity: Economics, Ownership, and the FCC provides a detailed analysis of the regulation of diversity and its impact on the structure and practices within the broadcast television industry. As deregulation is quickly changing the media landscape, this volume puts the changing structure of the industry into perspective through the use of an insider's point of view to examine how policy and programming get made. Author Mara Einstein blends her industry experience and academic expertise to examine diversity as a media policy, suggesting that it has been ineffective and is potentially outdated, as study after study has found diversity regulations to be wanting. In addition to reviewing diversity research on the impact of minority ownership, regulation of cable and DBS, duopolies, ownership of multiple networks and cross ownership of media on program content, Einstein considers the financial interest and syndication rules as a case study, due to their profound effects on the structure of the television industry. She also poses questions from an economic perspective on why the FCC regulates structure rather than content. Through the presentation of her research results, she argues persuasively that the consolidation of the media industry does not affect the diversity of entertainment programming, a conclusion with broad ramifications for all media and for future research about media monopolies. This volume serves as a defining work in its examination of the intersection of regulation and economics with media content. It is appropriate as a supplemental text in courses on communication policy, broadcast economic and media management, broadcast programming, political economy of the mass media, and media criticism at the advanced and graduate level. It is also likely to interest broadcast professionals, media policymakers, communication lawyers, and academics. It is a must-read for all who are interested in the media monopoly debate.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just three years after the Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected sweeping policy changes that would have dramatically altered our nation's media landscape, the Federal Communications Commission is once again considering eliminating longstanding limits on media ownership. These changes could have a tremendous negative impact, especially on broadcast outlets owned by women and minorities. In its landmark Prometheus v. FCC decision, the Third Circuit chastised the FCC for ignoring the issue of female and minority ownership. But since then, the FCC has done very little to address the issue. The FCC has abdicated its responsibility to monitor and foster increased minority and female broadcast ownership. In fact, the Commission cannot even account for the current state of female and minority ownership in this country. This study provides the first complete assessment and analysis of female and minority ownership of full-power commercial broadcast radio and television stations operating in the United States. Because this study represents the first ever complete assessment of all licensed commercial broadcast stations, it cannot and should not be compared with previous reports from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) or summaries produced by the FCC. All previous efforts by these agencies left out significant numbers of minority owners (and female owners, in the FCC's case). Likewise, previous academic and other studies using these flawed data are inaccurate or incomplete. The study shows that media consolidation is one of the key factors keeping female and minority station ownership at low levels. As consolidation cuts back the already limited number of stations available, women and people of color have fewer chances to become media owners and promote diverse programming. The results of this study reveal a dismally low level of female and minority ownership of radio and television stations in America that has left two-thirds of the U.S. population with few stations representing their communities or serving their needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In African Americans and Mass Media, Richard T. Craig explores the relationship among the lack of media ownership diversity, in addition to the political, and economical, influences, and policy developments influencing media ownership. Craig also addresses the concern of growing media monopolies and the decline in minority media ownership since the passing of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Focusing the policy argument on this act and the deregulation of media ownership, this book explores, the jeopardy jeopardizing of diminishedas well as the influence on content. Observing Black Entertainment Television (BET) in the last five years of African American ownership and the first five years of conglomerate ownership—paralleling the first decade after the Telecommunications Act was passed—the book includes information about the changes made to information programming on the network. Craig asserts that despite the overwhelming presence of African Americans holding executive positions with the network, Viacom, BET’s current owner, influences the network’s programming and relegates the cultural identity of the network to profit interests. BET is observed as a case study reflective of the importance ethnic media and perspectives reflective of cultural ethnic identities, targeting ethnic audiences. African Americans and Mass Media chronicles the significance of ethnic media, drawing particular attention to African American media in the United States, and advocates for increased communication policy development bolstering minority ownership.

Book excerpt: Broadband is the great infrastructure challenge of the early 21st century. Broadband is a foundation for economic growth, job creation, global competitiveness and a better way of life. The number of Americans who have broadband at home has grown from 8 million in 2000 to nearly 200 million last year. But. 100 million Americans do not have broadband at home. In early 2009, Congress directed the FCC to develop a National Broadband Plan to ensure that every American has ¿access to broadband capability.¿ This plan must also include a strategy for achieving affordability and maximizing use of broadband. The plan presented here ensures that the entire broadband ecosystem ¿ networks, devices, content and applications¿ is healthy. Illus.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the relationship between ownership structure, competitive conditions in local television markets and the programming provided by commercial broadcast stations. Previous research on the nature of these relationships has yielded mixed results; this study seeks to provide some degree of clarification. Additionally, through the inclusion of non-English language stations, it expands the sampling frame used in previous studies. In particular this study examines program type and source diversity as well and the quantity of total and local informational programming broadcast. Results from an analysis of 212 stations and 42 markets show that station financial strength and the intensity of market competition (as measured by the number of commercial stations) are the most important predictors of the programming provided. Both were positively related to program type diversity and the quantity of informational programming (total and local.) Interestingly, local ownership was not related to any of the programming variables. These results suggest that consolidation may not be as harmful as critics fear. They also suggest greater attention should be devoted to the number of stations and the resources available to them than on the characteristics of individual owners.
